We are attending the Ryerson University District event and, according to rule R-18G and R-19, we are allowed to open our robot to work for up to 6 hours, 7 days before competition. Is this 7 days before Day 0 of the competition, as in Friday March 10th or is it 7 days before Day 1, March 11th?
From my experience, I think it is 7 days before day 1, which is when competition actually starts. I would wait an extra day for a week from Day 1 just to be sure.
EDIT: R19 implies that it would be Day 1:
(Emphasis mine) Since it says “2-day” event, the event seems to be considered Day 1-Day 2, not Day 0, as that would make it a 3-day event.
